It’s been more than 160 years since Archaeopteryx first shook up science as the missing link—part reptile, part bird—and indicated that today’s pigeons and parakeets are the feathery descendants of dinosaurs. But despite decades of research, there’s still more to learn. Case in point: a newly described fossil, nicknamed the Chicago Archaeopteryx, may be the most detailed and revealing specimen yet. “The most important findings all center around rarely preserved soft tissues. For the first time

When you think of predators, you likely imagine big animals with sharp claws or teeth, like tigers or sharks. Over 100 million years ago, however, a tiny yet freakishly fearsome predator impaled its prey with scythe-like jaws. While investigating a large collection of fossil insects at the Museum of Zoology at the University of São Paulo, researchers in Brazil realized that a 113-million-year-old fossil represents a new ant species and might be the oldest ant specimen known to science. The foss

Tyrannosaurus rex may be the most famous dinosaur to ever roam the Earth, but these days, it’s at the center of a very modern problem: the luxury fossil trade. According to a study published in Palaeontologia Electronica, commercial fossil collecting has walled off so many T. rex fossils to scientists that it has severely hindered the scientific record. The study reveals a sobering stat: of the 141 scientifically useful T. rex fossils known to exist, over half—71 specimens—are in private or co

Diversity is central to one of the biggest questions paleontologists have about dinosaurs. Namely, were these ancient creatures already on the decline when that fateful asteroid came crashing out of the sky? A group of Earth scientists believes they probably were not. While it’s true that fossils from the final dinosaur era are comparatively rare compared to those that came before, it seems the fossil record may not be telling the entire story. The point may seem moot: one way or the other, dea

A bizarre ancient life-form, considered to be the first giant organism to live on land, may belong to a totally unknown branch of the tree of life, scientists say. These organisms, named Prototaxites, lived around 420 million to 375 million years ago during the Devonian period and resembled branchless, cylindrical tree trunks. These organisms would have been massive, with some species growing up to 26 feet (8 meters) tall and 3 feet (1 meter) wide. Since the first Prototaxites fossil was disco

Fossilized feathers discovered 136 years ago are still revealing new secrets. Researchers found that the volcanic rock preserving the feather holds microscopic details preserved within the fossil. The team’s research—published today in Geology—found that the feathers are preserved in zeolite, a mode of preservation that hasn’t been reported for soft tissues until now. “Fossil feathers are usually preserved in ancient mudrocks laid down in lakes or lagoons,” said Valentina Rossi, a researcher a
